Before You Begin
A food processor’s slicing blade can be used to slice the Brussels sprouts, but the salad will be less tender.

- Cook bacon in 12-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until crisp and well rendered, 6 to 8 minutes. Off heat, whisk in shallot mixture. Add Brussels sprouts and radicchio and toss with tongs until dressing is evenly distributed and sprouts darken slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to serving bowl.

Why This Recipe Works
Our Brussels sprout salad is dressed in a warm bacon vinaigrette that gently tenderizes the sprouts while letting them retain their fresh, mustardy flavor. Bites of quick-pickled shallot add pop to the salad. We dress the salad in the skillet before transferring it to a serving bowl.
